Morgan freeman and Tim Robbins were perfectly cast for this movie. They used Morgan Freeman’s son for Red’s mugshot.

He is also one of the prisoners cheering the arrival of "Fresh Fish" at the beginning.

I saw it in the theater. After it ended the whole theater gave a huge round of applause.

The only movie I've ever had that happen with was the original Jumanji (with Robin Williams).

The movie is not about Andy. It's about Red. He is the one redeemed in Shawshank. Andy didn't need to be redeemed, he was innocent.

[@falcon215]

Interesting.. never saw it that way!

[@obdiane]

Yes, I think Andy helped redeem Red, by giving him hope again and ultimately saving him from ending up like Brooks.

[@Stogie2112]

The movie is about both of them. They are polar opposites of each other, yet they needed each other. Andy is innocent and Red is guilty. Andy has hope and Red does not. Andy has the strength to keep his mind free and Red does not. If it weren't for Andy, Red would have never regained hope and the will to live.

I don't know if he was a alcoholic or was just drunk that night but either way it got helped him stopped drinking if you want to count that.

A great reaction to one of the greatest films ever made. For a variety of reasons the film didn't perform that well in the box office originally but over time became a cult classic that's earned the praise of celebrities, actors, film critics, and audiences world wide for decades. It was even nominated for 7 academy awards and sits comfortably on almost every top list of films. It was even added to the National Film Registry in the Library of Congress for being so exceptional.

[@kevinsisler9379]

It was one of Stephen King's stories in his book Different Seasons, a four story back, under Hope Spring's Eternal. The name was Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. This, and Green Mile, a miniseries of books by Stephen King, are two of the best prison movies.

[@johnmason9655]

Probably deliberate, but when Brooks is released the shot still shows the prison. When Red is released, it shows the outside. Very clever. Great reaction.

[@thelocusst]

Definitely deliberate. Film is one of the greatest forms of art.

[@_PuckFutin_]

The Shawshank redemption is one of the best movies ever. Sadly, it was robbed of Oscar.

[@nebidiaswift5200]

You can blame Tom hanks and Forrest for that one!

[@IamCaptainInsano]

Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, and Forrest Gump all came out the same year. Any of them could have won best picture, Forrest Gump took home the award. All 3 are phenomenal movies

[@Fred-vy1hm]

Not robbed, 1995 had some of the most iconic movies in history competing and Shawshank came out later in the award season and wasn't overly promoted.

[@feusach]

Forrest Gump was on the other side... What can I say

[@shawnkolozsy5579]

Great reaction. One of my favorite movies. Tim Robbins (Andy Dufresne) is 6'5. His height actually kept him from getting certain roles because he was so much taller than his co-stars

Clancy Brown is the sweetest man on the earth. I know he played the head guard in Shawshank, but I was fortunate to know him personally. His brother and my ex played division 1 football together. He couldn't be at the games all the time, but he was like a big brother to me when he could be at the games. He was great! Clancy Brown is underrated at what I am an amazing actor and person he really is!

[@surg23]

Not only do schools look like prisons, they feel like one too. A place you are forced to waste a good chunk of your life learning pointless and useless curriculum. I recall when leaving school I learned more in the month following than I did 3 years prior. At least this was the case in the 80's/90's. Nowadays it seems like schools/universities are more interested in telling you what to think instead of teaching exercises that make you think for yourself.

[@hrussell9677]

Learning to read, write, think critically, and socialize in a variety of ways is not a waste. Perhaps you went to a terrible school with little opportunity. But schools are only as good as the community they are in. So look around your community and see what’s wrong if you are so unhappy.

This movie is a Stephen King classic. It is on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest movies of all times.

[@neneshubby]

This movie is not a prison movie even though it’s set in a prison. It’s a movie about friendship and the redemptive power of hope.

[@thomaswilkinson6101]

That's the thing, a lot of US schools are built by the same guys who build the prisons!

[@maggieellis2303]

Every once in a while I’ll learn something new I didn’t see before in one of my favorite movies. From your reaction video, I learned that 1) the justice system - more importantly, the surveillance system - has made it nearly impossible to get away with what Andy and Red were able to, (as a caveat, it’s probable that there’s a new way to escape Big Brother’s eyes, but it’s certainly not the same) and 2) a very realistic explanation for how/why Red was able to remember the name of the town Andy had mentioned. Shit, right before I watched your reaction, I’d seen another, and the guys were joking about if Red hadn’t been able to remember that name - it’s something I’ve always thought, “How in the everloving f could anyone remember that name?” and y’all NAILED it. Of course Red would remember it so immediately, because there would be so little that would differ from the day-in/day-out routine - you’d remember very well anything that wasn’t a part of that. Very cool. Thanks, you two! Your reaction has been so enjoyable for me. I am glad to have seen it!

[@martijnvanvelsen6313]

When this movie came out in the cinema's, there wasn't much inerest. But when it was put for rent and shown on the tv, millions of people watched it and liked it and that how it became the best movie ever made.

[@rashadwalker8218]

Maybe one of the best but that's subjective it's too many films since the beginning of time to say it's the best of all time.

I noticed a comment that this is Red's story, and that is true. I think everyone has interacted with someone else who eclipsed their view of life; that was Andy to Red.

[@Hal2718]

Great reaction you two! I'll offer some info on one of the things you said. You said Andy's wife should've just divorced him and that is in fact what she wanted, but back then, unless there were extreme circumstances like obvious signs of physical abuse, the man not making a living, the woman not being able to get pregnant, etc you needed the consent of both partners to get a divorce. It wasn't until the 80's that only one person was needed to get divorce proceedings started.

[@samsakharia3382]

Great reaction guys to a great movie one of my top 10 movies of all time and I have watched over 2500 movies in my lifetime. Just a few facts about the movie and info. 1. When Andy meets Redd for the first time in the yard, he asked him why they call him Redd, he tells him maybe because I’m Irish. The reason was the part of Redd was to be played by a white guy who was going to be Irish and his last name was Redding, but in the end Morgan got the part and the director kept that line in.. maybe because I’m Irish… so Redd was short for Redding. 2. The young photo of Morgan in the beginning, was a photo of his real son. 3. His son is also in the movie for one scene and that was or he was the guy behind the fence doing the fishing pole gesture with a hat on. 4. The posters of different women was a sign of time passing and years. 5. When Brooks is let out of prison, as he steps out, you see the guards behind him. This represents that he was still stuck or trapped in the same place. That’s why he killed him self. 6. When we see Redd leaving, you see the guards are in front of him as he steps out, meaning he was free. 7. The ending of the movie was Andy driving away with the top rolled down. When it was shown to a test audience they did not like it, they wanted Andy and Redd to reunite… so they went back and shot that ending on the beach as we see… that makes the movie complete. Another great movie from the same director and one of my top 5 movies of all time that you guys should watch and react to is The Green Mile…. Both movies are from Steven King Novels…. Thank you.
